According to unreliable Hollywood sources, Netflix has started work on The John Kerry Story. No word on whether Lurch will be played by Boris Karloff or Mr Ed.
That British producer was wary:
"A les6ian secret'ry? Scary.
Why mess with success?
Cast a man in a dress --
Someone tall, dark, and handsome -- as Kerry!"
"But... who would replace him as Barry?"
"Why, one of those other two! Larry?"
Not to slight the able Mr. Elba.

And speaking of producers and racism and stuff...
The luvvie was, naturally, skittish
At being selected -- Black British! --
To play the Rasul
On the Beeb, to mark Yule:
"Bruv, not cool! I can't sing this... it's Yiddish!"

Poor Africa, held in the thrall
Of our islands so spacious, so small
That before her chaste race
Overflows the wee place,
Mighty Blighty must welcome them all!

[USNInews] Two Navy sailors are missing at sea off the coast of Somalia, U.S. Central Command said via a statement Friday.
Search and rescue operations are currently ongoing, according to the statements. Additional details, including the ship the sailors were on or their names, have not yet been released. The sailors were forward-deployed to U.S. 5th Fleet, according to the statement.
The U.S. has been operating more ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden over the last two months following a steady steam of attacks from Houthi forces in Yemen starting on Oct. 17.
Here’s the complete Central Command statement:
On the evening of January 11, two U.S. Navy Sailors were reported missing at sea while conducting operations off the coast of Somalia. Search and rescue operations are currently ongoing to locate the two sailors. For operational security purposes, we will not release additional information until the personnel recovery operation is complete.
Out of respect for the families affected, we will not release further information on the missing personnel at this time.
The sailors were forward-deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet (C5F) area of operations supporting a wide variety of missions.
"In 2003, SEALs using SEAL Delivery Vehicles swam ashore along the Somali coastline and emplaced covert surveillance cameras. Known as cardinals, the cameras were designed to watch likely target locations for wanted terrorists as al-Qaeda and its affiliates began to regroup in the country"
Some button men have attacked Kawu community in the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and kidnapped an undisclosed number of residents, SaharaReporters has learnt.
It was learnt that the incident happened in the early hours of Thursday.
The button men were said to have stormed the palace of the district head, Alhaji Abdurrahman Danjuma Ali in large numbers and kidnapped his son and several others.
However, it was a brave man who first ate an oyster... a police source who confirmed the incident to SaharaReporters on Friday said the button men came in large numbers, attacked Kawu village, and kidnapped several people.
"The button men came in large numbers and attacked Kawu village, and kidnapped people. Presently we can’t ascertain the number of the people kidnapped," the police source said.
SaharaReporters had reported that two siblings of the Chairman of the Bwari Area Council in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, John Gabaya, were among the scores of residents kidnapped when bandidos invaded some communities in the council.
The bandidos have reached across to some of the affected families, demanding millions of naira as ransom.
SaharaReporters reported on January 4, 2024, that the bandidos attacked some communities around the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and kidnapped an undisclosed number of residents on Wednesday, January 3.
The bandidos were said to have stormed the communities and attacked residents unhindered a few days after a series of attacks on Garam, a community that shares a boundary with Bwari in FCT.
The hoodlums also extended the attack to Zuma in neighbouring Niger State.

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai has reportedly killed three commanders of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... of West Africa Province (ISWAP), and several other fighters in the Marte and Kukawa areas of Borno State.
The ISWAP commanders killed by the NAF Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on Wednesday include Abou Maimuna, Abou Zahra and Commander Saleh.
A counter-insurgency expert focused on the Lake Chad region, Zagazola Makama, reports that the operations were coordinated by the new Air Component Commander of Operation Hadin Kai, Air Commodore UU Idris, after NAF Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft spotted the gunnies moving in a canoe.
Makama reports that intelligence sources said that the fighters were killed in successive strikes by the attack aircraft as they attempted to flee the location.
Sources confirmed that the three ISWAP Commanders and some of their lieutenants on the canoe were killed during the strikes while other strikes were carried out around Ali Sherifti or Kwatan Shalla around Kukawa axis where another unconfirmed number of ISWAP bad boyz were potted.

For some reason, my comment went missing. Maybe a database error.Let's try it again:
For anyone wondering why this is all happening, the Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sare a response to Israeli crimes against humanity in Gaza. Also unmentioned is the fact that the strikes took place after the first day of proceedings in the International Court of Justice in which Israel stands accused by South Africa of committing a genocide in Gaza. This explains the timing of Biden's response.
So the US and the UK just bombed the poorest country i~n the middle east for trying to stop a genocide. Not only that, they bombed the very same country in which they just spent years backing Saudi Arabia’s genocidal atrocities which killed hundreds of thousands of people between 2015 and 2022 in an unsuccessful bid to stop the Houthis from taking power.

It was no database error, Phugum Uluth9531. That much stupidity in the middle of the night was simply too much to bear.
Chris is right, though — your particular combination of illogical, ahistoric, vacuously self-righteous Jew-hate doesn’t get as far as sophomoric.

If you are a county that has cities where people are defecating on the sidewalks, you have enough problems to take care of. It is a symptom of many things probably messed up. Stay at home and work on these problems.

It's because the apartheid regime in South Africa and Israel were so close for decades. The ANC, murderous necklacing bastards that they are, harbor a special animus for Israel because they helped with apartheid.
South Africa and Israel were so close that they famously tested an atom bomb together.

Sorry to keep harping on math again. Each of these ships has 90 vertical launch cells (270 total). Collectively they fired 80 tomahawks in 24 hours. That leaves at best 190 loaded cells. Let’s be kind and say 5% offline for maintenance and 5% expended on surface to air shots already. That’d leave about 170 cells loaded. Those will be a mix of surface to air, anti-radiation, close defense and tomahawks etc. The cells cannot be reloaded at sea - at a pre-determined level the ships need to leave the area and go to a port where munitions are prepositioned for reloading (Djibouti, Bahrain, Diego, etc.). Looks like those three ships have one more surge firing available before they need to consider the number of active cells remaining
No sorries needed! Arithmetic always wins in the end, no matter how much management hopes otherwise.
If you ignore the shooting part, war is basically a resource management game.

Al-Ghad TV is reporting combat aircraft active in the skies over al-Hudaydah, explosions from two air raids in Sana', and renewed American strikes on Houthi targets.
US forces conducted a strike against a Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... radar site in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... , the American military says, adding the latest action aimed to degrade the rebel movement’s ability to attack maritime vessels.
"This strike was conducted by the USS Carney (DDG 64) using Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles and was a follow-on action on a specific military target associated with strikes taken on Jan. 12 designed to degrade the Houthi’s ability to attack maritime vessels, including commercial vessels," the US Central Command says in a statement on X, formerly Twitter.

Interesting. My hope is that these are the stockpiles and not baby food factories. If the assembly facilities and magazines were correctly identified and taken out stem the missile attacks will slow down for a time as this becomes a logistics equation.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Gun-wielding protesters today screamed 'America is the Devil' and trampled on flaming Israeli flags as tens of thousands of furious demonstrators packed the streets of Yemen and Iran after the UK and US launched airstrikes on Houthi targets.
British and American fighter jets and warships launched more than 100 precision missiles at over 60 targets in Houthi-held territory in Yemen early this morning in response to the rebels attacking merchant ships in the Red Sea for months.
But the Houthi rebels have now vowed to retaliate over the bombardment, with rebel leaders saying the UK and US must 'prepare to pay a heavy price' for their 'blatant' aggression amid fears the attacks could trigger a wider war in the Middle East.
Indeed, anger has spread across the region with hundreds of thousands of furious protesters descending onto streets in Yemen and Tehran chanting slogans calling the US 'the Devil' and burning Israeli and American flags.
Screaming Yemenis raised their guns in the air as Houthi leader Mohammen Ali al-Houthi told the crowd in the city of Sanna that the strikes were 'terrorism' and 'the United States is the Devil'.
'We did not attack the shores of America, nor did we move in the American islands, nor did we attack them. Your strikes on our country are terrorism,' said Al-Houthi as he raised his gun in the air.
'They are terrorists and they are amazing at lying to the people of the world, but the awareness of the Yemeni people is a different awareness. Do you, Yemeni, think that America is defending itself or is it a terrorist?'
It comes as Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan furiously condemned the strikes in a statement this morning, accusing the UK and US of turning the Red Sea into a 'sea of blood'.
But Downing Street rebuffed the criticism with a spokesperson for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak bit back: 'We wouldn't agree with that. This was limited and targeted strikes in response to aggression.
[Breitbart] Mexican authorities detained 40 Chinese migrants who were traveling by bus in southern Mexico on their way north with the goal of reaching the U.S. border. The detention came on the same day that authorities also detained 180 migrants from Central and South America in another location in an apparent crackdown on migrants trying to reach its northern border.
The detention took place earlier this week in the state of Oaxaca, where agents with Mexico’s National Migration Institute (INM) stopped a bus in the town of Tlacolula and found 40 migrants, including a family of 6 who were all from China.
Authorities did not specify if the group had travel permits or how they entered the country but claimed that they took the Chinese migrants into custody at their INM offices.
The detention of the 40 Chinese migrants came on the same day that INM agents and federal authorities detained 182 migrants from Guatemala and Ecuador that had been stuffed into a bus. That incident occurred in the state of Veracruz, along one of the highways connecting with the state of Puebla. There, authorities checked one bus and found 182 migrants, which included unaccompanied children, family units, and single adult men and women.
Authorities took the migrants to an INM station and turned the bus driver to federal authorities.
The crackdown comes at a time when tensions run high along the U.S.-Mexico border over the record-setting number of migrants crossing the border illegally and then requesting asylum or other protective measures. U.S. politicians have harshly criticized Mexican officials for helping fuel the ongoing migrant crisis by issuing travel permits to migrants headed north and allowing caravans to move through their country.
Breitbart Texas reported that during the first three and one-half months, Border Patrol agents apprehended a record-shattering 16,000 Chinese migrants who illegally entered the U.S. between ports of entry.

[IsraelTimes] Vehicle coming from La Belle France pulled over, three people arrested and all passengers questioned.
Belgian police stopped a bus coming from La Belle France on Thursday after a passenger reported a conversation about a possible terror attack, officials said.
The bus, run by the company Flixbus and operating a service between the northern French city of Lille and Brussels, was halted in the town of Wetteren, next to Ghent, a spokeswoman for the East Flanders prosecutors’ office told AFP.
Police arrested three passengers and were to question all those on board to determine if the suspect conversation was substantiated, she said.
A front man for Justice Minister Paul Van Tigchelt said the passenger had overheard a suspected "terrorist conversation" and alerted police who stopped the bus and inspected it.
The federal prosecutors’ office said it was not treating the incident as a terrorist case for the moment.
Belgium’s official Coordination Unit for Threat Analysis said it was not raising the national terrorism alert level above its current status of "serious."
Belgian police and security services are on heightened vigilance after the country faced recent Islamist attacks.
[GEO.TV] The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) on Friday foiled an attempt to sabotage the February 8 elections as it, in a successful operation, arrested two would-be jacket wallahs planning to target Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam ...the political wing of the Pak Taliban...

According to the SP, the arrested individuals were plotting a suicide attack on Fazl. Furthermore, it was disclosed that the forces of Evil had intentions to target the ANP leader through a suicide kaboom.
The arrested suspects had reportedly visited the JUI-F’s center and investigations revealed that they had undergone training in the Paktia region of Afghanistan.
During the security operation, authorities recovered suicide jackets, three hand grenades, and propaganda material associated with ISIS. The bomb disposal unit (BDU) has successfully neutralised the weapons and bombs.
The SP disclosed that the outlawed organization had previously been linked to assassinations of individuals representing various schools of thought in the region six months ago.
In a related development, authorities have made progress in identifying the individual responsible for planting a bomb on the Warsak Road. SP CTD said that the arrest of the terrorist involved in the Warsak Road kaboom was imminent.
[GEO.TV] As the country battles the scourge of terrorism, security forces Friday bumped off two bandidossnuffies in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in North Wazoo, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.
As per the military’s media wing, the IBO — conducted on reports of terrorists’ presence — resulted in an intense exchange of fire.
During the conduct of the operation, two bandidossnuffies identified as Abdullah Khadri and Khalid alias "Janan" were sent to hell, the statement added.
The ISPR underscored that the bumped offbandidossnuffies remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area including murder of innocent civilians.
Meanwhile, ...back at the the conspirators' cleverly concealed hideout the long-awaited message arrived. They quickly got to work with their decoder rings... security forces are carrying out a sanitisation operation to eliminate any other bandidossnuffies found in the area.
"[...] the security forces of Pakistain are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism from the country", the military’s media wing noted.
The IBO comes days after two soldiers embraced martyrdom during a shootout with bandidossnuffies in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's Lakki Marwat district.
The deaders included Sepoy Muhammad Afzal, 29, resident of district Bhimber, Azad Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor.

[IsraelTimes] Cell opens fire at troops patrolling in Adora; M16, knives, pickaxe, Molotov cocktails found on terrorists’ bodies; footage shows them crawling under settlement outer perimeter fence
A man was wounded in a shooting attack on Friday evening in the southern West Bank settlement of Adora.
After a brief manhunt, the three Palestinians who carried out the attack were killed by security forces, the military said. The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that the attackers opened fire at troops conducting a patrol in Adora.
One Israeli, aged 34, was hurt in the attack.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service said the victim was shot in the leg and was in good-to-moderate condition. He was conscious when taken to hospital.
The IDF said troops chased after the attackers, and “during searches, three terrorists were identified and eliminated by security forces,” apparently in an industrial area close to the settlement.
Surveillance footage obtained by the Kan public broadcaster apparently showed the terrorists breaching the outer perimeter of the industrial area, crawling through a hole in the fence or underneath it. An M16, a number of knives, a pickaxe and Molotov cocktails were apparently found on the bodies of the terrorists.
The military said troops were continuing to search the settlement.
The IDF Home Front Command ordered residents of Adora to remain in their homes and lock their doors and windows until further notice.
Security chiefs have reportedly warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu several times this month that the West Bank is on the brink of a major eruption in violence. The heightened concern comes on the heels of Israel’s withholding of hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenues from the Palestinian Authority, in addition to refusing to allow some 150,000 Palestinian workers to return to their jobs in Israel and the settlements, the report said, noting Netanyahu’s refusal to hold security cabinet votes to reverse both decisions amid pressure from his far-right coalition partners.
Once ever you start paying Danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane. Honestly, Mr. Smartypants Command, if the Palestinians feel no consequences for misbehaving, why should they stop?
“We may end up with a third Intifada [in the West Bank] because of the discontent resulting from the economic difficulty and lack of entry of workers to Israel,” the IDF commanders were quoted as saying.
Why should Israelis pay to be surrounded by people who cheered the Hamas massacre, whose government supports the idea while wishing they’d had the courage to do it first? If the Palestinians wish to hate, let them do it for free.
The network added that the military’s assessment was shared by the Shin Bet security service.
There’s no more road to kick this can down, guys. I suggest you start thinking outside the box. Update from the Times of Israel at 8:30 a.m. ET:
The three Palestinian terrorists who attacked the southern West Bank settlement of Adora are teenagers with no prior security offenses, the Shin Bet security agency says.
The agency identifies the trio, from the nearby town of Idna, as family members Udai Abu Jahisha, 16, Muhammad Arafat Abu Jahisha, 16, and Ismail Abu Jahisha, 19.
“The three have no previous arrests or security background,” the Shin Bet says.
The Palestinian Authority health ministry says it was notified of their deaths, indicating the bodies are being held by Israeli authorities.
[IsraelTimes] As forces continue fighting in Khan Younis in Strip’s south and Maghazi in center, White House notes dangers of starvation amid insufficient aid to civilians
The IDF said Friday it had killed dozens of Hamas ...a regional Iranian catspaw,... button men during operations in southern Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... ’s Khan Younis and Maghazi in the Strip’s center in the past day, as fighting in the territory continued and as Israel defended its actions at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
At the same time, the United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... humanitarian office said Israeli authorities were systematically denying it access to northern Gaza to deliver aid and munitions and that this had significantly hindered the humanitarian operation there.
"The operations in the north have become increasingly more complicated," said Andrea De Domenico, head of office for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in the Occupied Paleostinian Territories. "We have systematic refusal from the Israeli side of our effort to get there, to access the north."
It’s a war zone, guys. Wiser to stay out from underfoot until the battle is finished, since you international types object so to being wounded or killed.
Israeli authorities and COGAT — an Israeli Defence Ministry agency tasked with coordinating aid deliveries into Paleostinian territories — did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Israel has previously denied blocking the entry of aid.
Israel has repeatedly stated that they’ve been approving 200 trucks a day — it’s the international folks who aren’t getting them driven across the border.
White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told news hounds Thursday that Gazooks are facing starvation and more humanitarian aid must get in.
"We recognize that there are real food security issues in Gaza," he said. "We understand there’s a lot of hunger and starvation in Gaza."
Kirby said not enough aid trucks were getting into Gaza.
NUKHBA COMMANDERS KILLED
In Maghazi, the IDF said the 36th Division killed some 20 Hamas operatives, including a commander in the terror group’s elite Nukhba force.
In Khan Younis, the 98th Division directed an Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... on a building used by Hamas, killing seven operatives, the IDF said. According to the IDF, among those killed in the strike was another Nukhba commander, who participated in the October 7 onslaught.
Also in Khan Younis, the IDF said troops of the Commando Brigade spotted three Hamas button men coming out of the home of an operative and approaching the forces. The commandos opened fire, killing the three.
[IsraelTimes] During press tour at Kerem Shalom border crossing, IDF liaison flouts UN reports of starvation in Gaza, blames international organizations for delay in transfer of aid to the Strip.
[IsraelTimes] Reservists of the elite Duvdevan unit and Border Police officers operating in the northern West Bank village of Jaba’ killed a wanted senior Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... operative, the military says.
The terror operative, identified by Paleostinian health officials as 37-year-old Majdi Abd al-Latif Fashafsha, was armed, according to the IDF.
The IDF says another wanted Paleostinian was arrested in Jaba’, and troops seized weapons from Fashafsha’s home and other buildings in the village.
[GEO.TV] Israel's latest attacks on Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... have killed at least 151 people, including 11 in a single house, Paleostinian health officials said on Friday, while the UN humanitarian office accused Israel of blocking its efforts to send aid to the north.
Must be something really interesting underneath, if it has that many human shields —unless the ISF kinetically interrupted an major Hamas staff meeting...
Gaza health officials said the 11 people had been killed by a single air strike around dawn in a house in Deir al-Balah belonging to the Fayad family, a prominent name in the city.
Israel said it could not comment without more specifics. It said earlier that its forces had killed dozens of holy warriors in nearby Maghazi and in the southern city of Khan Younis.
Paleostinian medics said another Paleostinian had been killed and several others maimed in an Israeli strike that targeted a group of people on a main road between the central and the southern areas of Gaza.

The idea that you can't kill Jews with impunity may be too novel for "International Humanity" to absorb. But they will learn - the hard way. Because the rest of the world beginning to grasp that they're enemies general of the Humankind.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says it carried out Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on Hezbollah targets in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade.

That hospital blast marked the beginning of an intense bully boy campaign against U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria, and on many commercial vessels transiting the Red Sea.

On Tuesday the Houthis launched their largest-ever barrage of 18 one-way attack drones, anti-ship cruise missiles and an anti-ship ballistic missile at a host of international commercial vessels and warships in the Red Sea.
In response, the U.S. and U.K. struck Friday Houthi missile, radar and drone capabilities.

Hezbollah condemns US strikes that killed five in Yemen
It's tit-for-tat: next week Houtis will condemn an IDF strike on Lebanon that kills 500.
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] A US military base in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor was hit by missiles, Mehr News Agency reported on January 12.
As the agency reported, a base located near the Koniko gas field was shelled.
According to journalists, the attack was carried out by Iraqi resistance groups in response to Washington's support for Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip.
As Regnum reported, on January 8, three dozen missiles were fired at the American military base in Deir ez-Zor. On the same day, in the Hasakah province in northeastern Syria, the Rumeilan military base was attacked using drones.
The Israeli military launched an operation against Hamas in Gaza on October 7 after Palestinian militants launched a massive rocket attack on Israel.
The so-called resistance forces in Iraq, Lebanon, and Iran have announced that they will oppose Israeli policies towards the Palestinians and the American presence in Syria. Since then, American military bases have been shelled many times.
Yemen's Houthis have also said they will oppose Israeli action against the Palestinians. On January 10, the Ansar Allah movement attacked an American ship in the Red Sea. The Houthis said he supported the Israelis.
On the night of January 12, the US and British air forces launched strikes on Yemeni cities, including the capital Sanaa, explaining that they were attacking exclusively Houthi positions.
Russia condemned this massive strike. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Washington and London have created a security threat for the entire world.
